Parliamentary Committee to Discuss Foreclosure Proposals

The House Finance Committee will begin discussions on March 9th regarding proposed legislation concerning the protection of borrowers and guarantors from foreclosures. MP Aristos Damianou of AKEL emphasized the need to restore balance between citizens and financial institutions, noting that his party has been advocating for fairer regulations for ten years. Mr. Damianou accused the DISY and DIKO parties of delaying a response to AKEL's proposals, while also highlighting the social consequences of foreclosures, such as property loss and the eviction of thousands of citizens. AKEL's main proposal concerns restoring the ability to seek judicial protection for primary residences and business premises.
